Top 5 Ways for Uncle Mark to Get Noticed During the Super Bowl

I really want to see Uncle Mark on TV at the Super Bowl. But Dad says it is highly unlikely because he doesn't exactly have front row seats. So Mom and Dad came up with some suggestions for him so he can get noticed:

5) Be prepared to yell, "I'm a doctor" when Mick Jagger has a heart attack during the Halftime show.

4) Sing along on a hidden mike to the Star Spangled Banner with Aretha Franklin.

3) Start "coaching" his (yes, phantom) wife through labor via cell phone early in the second half. "Breathe, honey. You can do it! Oh, don't get like that. I was there for you when it mattered and I'll be home late tonight. You can do this." In the final seconds, announce to the entire section that you are naming your new little girl Shauna Alexandra.

2) Make a big sign that says: "Marry Me Jennifer! (Sorry I couldn't afford to bring you with me.)"

1) Make a big sign that says: "I Missed My Wedding To Cheer My Hawks!

Do you have any suggestions?

What I want to know is, who is "Jennifer"? And how come that name always works to substitute for a fictional character? We pulled a "Jennifer" joke on a guy I knew once. Made up his gf and named her Jennifer. Just a coincidence I guess. Or is it an "all-American" name?

Maybe it's because "Jennifer" is about the most common name for people of our generation? (I live with a self-proclaimed name-snob; that's how I find out things like this.)
